Download or read book Bowel Cancer written by John Northover and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bowel cancer is the second-commonest malignant cause of death in the Western world, partly due to low public awareness of the symptoms and of the possibility of cure if the disease is treated early. For this reason, and because the quality of life that most patients can expect following treatment has greatly improved, this book provides the general public with detailed and clear information about the disease. Bowel cancer can be prevented by recognition and careful surveillance of those at high risk, and some early cancer patients can be cured as out-patients. More is being learned about the causes and natural history of bowel cancer; constituents of the `Western' diet have been identified which may well play a part in the development of the disease. There are now ways of diagnosing bowel cancer before symptoms have developed, and new forms of treatment can supplement the effects of surgery. This work gives an up-to-date account of the present picture and also aims to remove the taboo which surrounds discussion of bowel cancer. Improved public awareness of the condition will improve the outlook for patients.

He has a perspective like no other and a plan to beat the odds. Brutally honest, he crafts words with a relentless wit. To survive cancer, you need more than a sense of humor. You need an unending arsenal, which Stuart cultivated for years as a singing telegram messenger.As he was being wheeled into surgery for the first time, a nurse leans over and "In the purest Southern drawl ever, she said, "We find in cases where's a lessen a 50/50 chance o' survival, it really helps if the patient has something to live for. Wassh y'all got to live for, sugah?"I thought, Who trained you?What I said was, "I want to walk my daughter down the aisle.""Oh, that's precious! When's the date?""How the hell should I know? She's six and this ain't West Virginia. Do it right."And Stuart found plenty to live for.

If by some misfortune you have it, this book will prepare you for the harsh reality and help you prepare a battle plan. If not, this should serve as a cautionary tale for you to eat right, exercise, and get checked out, especially if you're over 50.Regardless, if you ever had a dream you thought was crazy..."Don't put it off. Start it today. Whatever it is, make even a small start. The world cannot wait. If it's daunting, if it scares the hell out of you, so much the better. And ladies and gentlemen, I know whereof I speak, doitnow, doitnow, doitnow. You don't have time to put it off. With that in mind, I leave you with the words of one last great philosopher who was far less a curmudgeon than I, who said, "When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace, and death a duty."That man was W.C. Fields.Go in haste. Abide in hope. Be good cynics. Add your light to the sum of light." - S Chapin.
